Are you using an admin user account? Only an admin user account can delete or uninstall third party applications.
What app are you trying to delete? You cannot delete any macOS installed Applications installed by default from the factory. The original apps included within macOS are part of macOS and cannot be removed.
If you installed the app from the App Store, then I believe you just need to delete the app like any other file/folder.
If you installed the app by downloading it from a website, then there are two possibilities for uninstalling the app.
You may need to check with the app's developer for the proper method to fully uninstall & remove their app from your Mac.
